Might want to pull out that law book of yours before commenting on legal matters. The right to rent retail purchased DVDs was affirmed in NEBG v Weinstein. Feel free to read more here.

You've now made a fool of yourself to us, please reconsider before doing the same with your neighbor down the hall.

As pointed out in the article, the assumption that 20/20 is normal vision is absolutely wrong and is based on a self-reported sample of people 120 years ago. Mean visual acuity for ages 18-29 is better than 20/15.

I had a whole bunch of good information to post here, but someone at the article's comments said it even better.

So, shamelessly quoted from there:

And thank god for that... the Reinheitsgebot is one of the worst laws in existence. It was originally written to stop competition in grain prices between brewers and bakers. Yep, that's right, brewers were limited to certain ingredients to keep the price of bread down. This law was then spread to other countries so that brewers who had to follow the law could actually compete in the marketplace. I'm sorry, but that is not the process for making a good law.

Today, the law is merely a marketing sham. That is, marketing departments like to claim that following the law somehow makes the beer better and that their company follows the law; the first is false, and the second usually is.

Well, kind of. That is, not many people did any of the checking email thing before Outlook came on the scene, and most of those other things were done with paper and pencil.

Note that Outlook is a direct descendant of Microsoft Exchange 1.0 which was packaged with Windows 95 OSR2 in 1996, and released as Outlook in 1997.

I'm sorry, but the credibility of you as a comment reader just went right out the window.

And you claim is that this is because BP was attempting to profit off of this.

I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous. BP's cleanup costs so far are something like $20 million dollars a day, and you claim that they were delaying stopping the leak to gather 5000 barrels of oil a day? $350,000 dollars worth of oil a day? I'm sorry, that doesn't really make sense. BP's civil liability is capped somewhere between $1100 and $3400 dollars per barrel, and you claim that all they care about is collecting the oil that's worth $75 per barrel?

Let me advance another theory. All of the methods that do not actually stop the leak, are methods that have worked in the past and in the worst case cause no damage. The methods that stop the leak all have a worst case scenario that ends with oil leaking at >20x the current rate (or rather the pre-"top kill" rate).

No comparison-based sorting algorithm has complexity less than nlogn. However, there are sorting algorithms that are not comparison-based and thus can have "better" complexity. For example, counting sort is a sorting algorithm with complexity O(n + M) where M is the size of the range of values.

You are basically saying that the two possibilities are that zed is right, or that all of the other 9 are right. But, we want the probability that zed is right vs the probability that at least one of the others are right, since they all disagree with him. On a side note, I find it amusing that Zed takes his experiences with a nonrepresentative sample of a group to determine that the group itself doesn't understand statistics. As he is a member of the group himself, do you think his rant's self-reference was intentional or is he as oblivious as he claims others are?

It's a good thing that you RTFA. That is how you knew that the second one was a detailed analysis of the exact statement from Nvidia that you linked to, showing how it did not really refute the point.

Well, when you made the choice of what OS to use you weighed the advantages and disadvantages of each. In particular, you considered the fact that the particular one that you chose was a very small portion of the market and was commonly not supported as well (or not at all) as your other options.

Now, any site that requires flash is making the decision that you are not important enough to support.

Point is, don't blame Adobe, blame yourself and those companies (and others) who require flash.

Not actually true. Based on pricing at newegg.com, a 2GB stick of DDR2 can be had for $24. A 32 GB Intel X25-E is $420. That is, DDR2 costs $12/GB and the X25-E is $13.1/GB.

Now, for the ddr drive, you have to consider the cost of the drive itself and other factors. For example, for a ddr ram drive to be practical, I think it needs at least 32GB of space. That is 16 2GB sticks (which probably won't fit in a normal sized drive enclosure) or requires using the much more expensive 4GB sticks. So yeah, in my opinion, there's not really a place for ddr ram drives in the market.

True.
Also IBM does a similar thing with ACM-ICPC world finals. They have probably dished out $1,000,000 for us here in Stockholm. And that is for a field of 300 potential hires.
I am one of the lucky few who will have benefited from both these companies programs.
